This is Riggs' new a Winter Lager, made as a slightly darker German Festbier.
A: Pours a clear and darker Amber/red color. A two finger white head forms with excellent retention and lacing.
S: Toasted malts, baked bread light grains in the nose. A simple, but very nice malty aroma.
T: Again, big but nuanced malty flavors are the show. Ranging from baked bread, toasted malts, nutty, and even a little bit of a woody flavor. A touch sweet, but the spicy earthy bitterness lingers on a bit. This is great.
M/O: A medium body with crisp carbonation. This is super clean and finishes dry. Really enjoyable to drink, I can come back to this and have several in a sitting.
There is certainly room for a slightly darker "festbier" as I'm not sure this really has a proper style. Though I know German breweries make festbier for the winter times on occasion. I can't say how authentic this particular version is, but it is a really well done and clean lager. That has a lot of great malt backbone that fits for the winter months. A unique interpretation and highly recommend.
